  1. A man and his mother were one night coming home from visiting friends. They looked around them & saw a funeral coming behind them on the Moynagh road. When the funeral overtook them they were lifted up horse cart & all & left in the field across the ditch. When the funeral went past he saw a gap opened to him to let him out on the road again.
